Within Thy Temple, Lord

Verse 1

Within your temple, Lord, your mercies we will tell, for where your name is known there does your praise excel: your praises sound through every land; with righteous reign you shall command.

Verse 2

Mount Zion, now rejoice! Let Judah's daughters praise with strong and cheerful voice, the justice God displays; go round the walls on Zion's mount its many splendours to recount.

Verse 3

The towers of Zion tell; its palaces survey; mark its defences well, and to your children say: "The Lord, our faithful God and guide, this God forever shall abide."
